Explain how damage from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors.

Instructions

You must use the template I provided for this assignment since it will make it a lot easier for you. Failure to do so will result in a return of your paper for you to redo, a reduction in points, or both.

Scenario: River is enjoying working in the section and asked you to provide some more information on the critical infrastructures you two have been talking about. You already had a good discussion on three more of the critical infrastructures. Determine the ones from your most recent three discussions that you did not discuss yet. Determine which one of them you will use to discuss a physical attack, which one for a cyber event, and the remaining one for a natural disaster.

River asked you to keep the format the same as last time since it worked really good in explaining various aspects of the critical infrastructures. You determined to use the following outline for each of the three sections (plus the overarching requirements):

Description of a Hypothetical Threat (physical, cyber, or natural disaster)
Brief background on the Critical Infrastructure as it relates to National Security
Elaborate on the known Risks/Threats/Hazards/Vulnerabilities from the Hypothetical Threat

Explain how damage from the Hypothetical Threat could impact the Dependencies/Interdependencies between critical infrastructure sectors

Existing Resiliency related to Continuity of Operations
Consider how to Minimize Disruption that improves First Responder Safety.
Technical Requirements

Your paper must be approximately 6 pages – 2 pages per critical infrastructure discussed (the Title, Abstract, and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
Scholarly and/or credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least two sources per page of content.

Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double-spaced.
Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework.

Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic-type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.
